Installing Video Cards
It may become necessary to install or replace video cards in a Central Station on-site.
Configuration changes and software updates may be required in addition to physically
installing video cards.
There may also be a Technical Service Bulletin to refer to with specific information
including video card compatibility and/or business strategy. Refer to these
communications and/or contact Technical Support for additional information.
The following steps describe an overview of the process.
• Update BIOS, per need. Contact Technical Support for additional information.
• Quit the Connex CS application.
• Install video drivers, per need.
• Update system files.
• Shut Down the CPU.
• Install new video cards.
• Configure video settings.
In terms of planning and setting proper expectations for the clinical staff, plan for
approximately 20 - 30 minutes of system down time, including at least 1 reboot.
